"You said you could recruit 100,000 capable soldiers, you said your plan, if it works, I will reuse you!"

Li Jing wanted to know what method Yang Siqiao used to recruit 100,000 elite soldiers!

It was not a random recruitment of 100,000 soldiers, but a hundred thousand soldiers and horses who could fight, and as long as they were gathered, they could immediately enter the battle.

Without training, 100,000 people will not be able to form any combat effectiveness at all, except for the large number of people!

Even, these 100,000 people may not be able to understand even the most basic orders in the army, let alone such a large-scale army of 100,000 people.

"There is no way for the slave to tell the sage in detail, only when I go to Lingnan can I recruit 100,000 capable soldiers, and only I can do it!"

"Slaves and maids need to go to the place and make the right choice according to the situation of each place......"

Yang Siqiao told the truth.

Although he is a barbarian indigenous prince, he has entered the palace since he was a child, and his understanding of the situation in Lingnan is still before entering the palace, and he does not know much about the current Lingnan.

But he knew where the people were the bravest, and if he recruited them into the army, it would not be difficult to take the Linyi Kingdom!

He knew better in his heart that what he said could not impress everyone at all, and in the eyes of everyone, what he said was nonsense!

Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, if he didn't know Yang Siqiao's ability, he was afraid that he would have let Yang Siqiao be blasted out a long time ago!

"Sage, marching and fighting is not child's play! He is a eunuch who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, what does he know? I thought that marching and fighting was a tea party, and if you have an open mouth!"

"That's right! Fighting a war is a death, he is a eunuch who doesn't understand anything, so he dares to talk nonsense in front of the saint, if he is really allowed to recruit troops, this battle will be lost!"

"During the Warring States Period, Zhao Kuo talked about troops on paper, and the whole army was wiped out in the Battle of Changping, and even Zhao Kuo died in Changping, this eunuch couldn't even talk about soldiers on paper except for talking nonsense, so let him recruit 100,000 troops, it is better to agree to Lin Yiguo's request!"

"I'm ashamed to be in the company of this eunuch, if this eunuch is activated, I am afraid that the land of Lingnan will never be peaceful!"

Li Sichong and others stood up and once again opposed letting Yang Siqiao participate in this operation!

They are Chiguo's despised eunuchs, a castrated eunuch, who is not good at being a slave in the palace, but whimsically wants to participate in the affairs of the court!

It's ridiculous!

Could it be that there is no one available in my Datang, to the point where I need a eunuch to save the field?

Among them, any one of them is no better than you as a eunuch in leading the troops to fight!

Li Sichong and others, Yang Siqiao didn't take it seriously, whether some things can be done depends on the result rather than the surface, and the most important thing is to see if there is a chance to do it.

Now it's up to the saint to give him this opportunity!

"You want to express yourself?"

Li Jing looked at Yang Siqiao and said.

"No, the slave wants to repay the kindness of the saint! I want to serve the Tang Dynasty and serve the saint!"

Yang Siqiao said sincerely.

"Since you want to serve Datang and serve me, then I will give you this opportunity! From now on, I appoint you as the vanguard general, and order you to recruit 100,000 troops to crusade against the Linyi Kingdom!"

Li Jing decided to give Yang Siqiao a chance, although Yang Siqiao is brutal and murderous, fortunately, his ability is outstanding, and he is a rare general!

What's wrong with brutality?

Cruelty to one's enemies is mercy to oneself!

He needs a loyal dog, a dog that can bite the enemy's throat at any time, and Yang Siqiao is exactly this dog!

"The slave and the maid thank the saint for his grace, the slave and the maid will definitely not live up to the kindness of the saint, if you can't set foot in the Linyi country this time, the slave and the maid are willing to come to see you!"

Yang Siqiao was overjoyed, I finally got out of it, and the rest of my life is no longer an inconspicuous slave in the palace, but a pillar of the Tang Dynasty!

"Sage, how can you let this eunuch be a general......"

Li Sichong and the others hurriedly spoke, but were interrupted by Li Jing, how to use people, what kind of people to use, he has his own opinions, and it is not their turn to make irresponsible remarks!

They can raise objections, or he can not accept objections, anyway, let Yang Siqiao go to Lingnan to recruit 100,000 troops, which is not negotiable.

"It's decided! Wan'er, draft the edict immediately, Yang Siqiao, you take the edict and go to Lingnan to recruit troops!"

Li Jing said.

"No!"

Shangguan Wan'er and Yang Siqiao saluted.

Shangguan Wan'er was drafting the edict while secretly looking at Yang Siqiao, in her eyes, Yang Siqiao was undoubtedly a very bold person, daring to rush in to fight for the opportunity to stand out for herself when the saint and the generals were discussing important military affairs!

Such a person needs to be contacted, and maybe he can help her in the future!

After the edict was drafted, Shangguan Wan'er handed the edict to Li Jing for a look, and after there was no problem, Li Jing stamped the seal of the Son of Heaven and then handed it to Yang Siqiao.

Seeing that Li Jing had made up his mind, everyone saluted and withdrew.

The urgent edict to Yang Simiao directly bypassed the Zhongshu and Menxia Province, and was directly handed over to Yang Simiao, who respectfully held the edict with both hands and withdrew.

In Yang Siqiao's eyes, what he holds in his hand is not an edict, but his future!

Yang Siqiao went back and immediately packed up some softness, immediately rode to the railway station, took the nearest train to the eastern capital, and then took the waterway from the eastern capital to Yangzhou, and then rode to Lingnan.

Han Shizhong and the three left Chang'an the next day and rushed to Lingnan, and Li Jing then set off.

First take the train to Dongdu by water, to Yangzhou, and then south to Guangzhou.

Li Jing set off from Chang'an to Xiangyang, and while driving the expedition, he revisited his hometown by the way.

At the beginning, he started his troops from Xuzhou, first took Xiangyang, and then sent troops to the eastern capital, and finally successfully took Chang'an.

……

"How far is it from Xiangyang?"

On the way to Xiangyang, a long queue was advancing, and Li Jing pushed the window to look outside, and asked.

"Sage, you can only get to Xiangyang at night!"

Ximen Yang said respectfully.

Li Jing touched his hungry stomach, if he knew that walking so slowly, he should have taken the waterway directly to Yangzhou, and he didn't have to walk so slowly like now!

"I'm hungry!"

Li Jing withdrew his gaze from the window and said.

Ximen Yang immediately took the pastry that was placed next to him and put it in front of Li Jing.

"This pastry is hard to swallow!"

Li Jing shook his head and said.

"Then, the old slave will go and make tea for the saint!"

Ximen Yang Road.

"Can't there be anything else? I want to eat meat!"

Li Jing called Ximenyang.

"Sage, we've finished eating our jerky, if you want to eat meat, you still have to go to Xiangyang!"

Ximenyang was a little embarrassed.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the jerky she brought has been eaten, which is in the wilderness, where can he go to get meat, it is really impossible for him to do it!

Li Jing also saw Ximenyang's embarrassment, knowing that he couldn't get meat, and it was useless to eat it.

Fortunately, there are many animals in the wild in Datang, and it is not a problem to catch a few and cook them.

"Stop, rest here! Send someone into the surrounding woods and get me some game!"

Li Jing waved his hand, he didn't embarrass Ximenyang, and there was no need, the jerky he brought was all eaten, and he wouldn't conjure up the meat if you were embarrassed!

Why don't you pause and rest here, send someone to search around, hunt some hares, pheasants or something and come back to eat!

After receiving Li Jing's order to stop advancing and rest in place, the marching team stopped!

The car stopped steadily, Li Jing walked out of it and jumped out of the carriage!

The carriage is not very comfortable, there are some bumps on the road, the most important thing is that the road is a dirt road, which is not as easy to walk as a smooth and straight cement road, especially after the rain, it is even more difficult to walk.

Li Jing planned to start building cement roads after the end of this southern expedition, and even if there were no roads between households, roads must be connected between cities.

"Saint!"

Yue Yun came to Li Jing with a double hammer in his hand.

"Yue Yun, you send someone to find something to eat nearby, and come back with some hares, pheasants or something, I want to eat fresh meat."

Li Jing turned back to Yue Yun and said.

"Yes, the minister will arrange it!"

Yue Yun took the order and called hundreds of people to go to the vicinity to collect wild meat and come back!

Fifteen minutes later, the men sent out returned, carrying the pheasants they had hunted.

Yue Yun immediately reported to Li Jing, Li Jing was overjoyed, but unfortunately this was outside, and he didn't bring too many things that had nothing to do with the war when he marched to fight, and he wanted to make a dish with chicken as raw materials, I am afraid it would not be easy.

However, it is not impossible to make roast chicken, or roast chicken, or call flower chicken.

"Go and call the fireheads in the army, and I will personally guide them in cooking!"

Li Jing said to Ximen Yang.

Ximen Yang smiled bitterly, so he had to send someone to call the Huotou Army over!

"Sage, you also know how to cook?"

Yue Yun looked curious, didn't he say that the gentleman was far away from cooking?

Yue Yun was curious about Li Jing, as the Son of Heaven and the true master of the Tang Dynasty, who was the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, how could he also cook his skills?

"Of course, when I wasn't here, I was more or less able to cook and be self-sufficient! I don't dare to say anything else, but in terms of cooking, there is no problem in teaching the firehead army. ”

Li Jing smiled slightly, before he crossed over, he began to learn life skills of cooking and cooking at the age of six, and his family would not let you work just because you were a man.

Simple housework is a skill that everyone must learn, regardless of gender!

But in Yue Yun's ears, it was another matter, he didn't expect that Li Jing, as the emperor, had such a miserable childhood, as a child of the royal family, he still needed to do it himself before he could eat!

Yue Yun's brain made up a big drama of Li Jing's tragic childhood!

Soon, the Firehead Army came!

Li Jing pulled them aside and began to teach them how to make a flower chicken, so that it could taste good and the chicken would taste better!

After the explanation, Li Jing asked Huotoujun to make a flower chicken according to the method he taught, and come out to see the results.

The first time I did a flower chicken, I was inevitably nervous, a little rusty, and finally this called the flower chicken failed.

Huotou Jun summed up the reasons for the failure, and made a flower chicken again, this time it was a lot more proficient, plus the lesson of the first failure, this time they finally succeeded in making a flower chicken!

Li Jing is very satisfied with the chicken he eats!
